Scottish policies and strategies

This page provides a short index to Scottish Government policies and supporting information relevant to population health, and particularly to population health improvement. Its purpose is to provide a quick reference tool with links to relevant documents and web pages. It does not include legislation giving effect to policy. Please click on a topic area below to be redirected to that section of the index:

Contents and links are updated regularly but policy and related information are constantly evolving and use of the index should take this into account. Also, it is often unclear when a policy or strategy has been wholly replaced by new policy. The classification of policies as 'current' or otherwise should not, therefore, be regarded as definitive. Please contact the ScotPHO team ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) if you find any errors or omissions.
